Cyprus ltd is the most popular business form in this country, being suitable for small and medium sized companies.
Opening a company in Cyprus to offer taxi services
When deciding to
set up a taxi business in Cyprus, the investor must choose a business entity type. The most common type of business entity in Cyprus is the

• a declaration form;
